CUT AND SORT COMMAND

cut and sort command:


Another very useful command is cut.This command allows you to get fields from structured files.To
do this, it helps if you tell cut what the field delimiter is.
Sort can be used to sort the data in a particular order.
Example:
To display the last seven lines of the /etc/passwd file in which user accounts are stored, and then, I will
pipe this to the cut command to filter out the first column.Then we can sort the list.
tail -n 7 /etc/passwd
tail -7 /etc/passwd | cut -d : -f 1
tail -7 /etc/passwd | cut -d : -f 1,7
tail -7 /etc/passwd | cut -d : -f 1 | sort
-d = délimiter
Sort –n or sort -r
